You all have my gratitude for taking part in this tournament!
Now then, the time to fight is over so let's party!
At the House of Mouse, everyone was gathered to hold a celebration for Team Dream Keeper's victory in the Sorcerer's Tournament. The team in question were at the center of it, celebrating with their friends while the other teams did their own thing.
"So we meet again, Poe de Spell," Scrooge said as the McDuck family was gathered around Lena.
"Oh, it's you," Poe said with a frown.
"Relax, old timer, Dad here will play nice," Lena rolled her eyes.
"Dad?" Webby said in confusion. She then gasped and hugged her best friend. "You had a secret parent the whole time too!? No wonder we're best friends!"
"Ease up on the hug, Pink," Lena said, but returned the gesture anyway.
"You did good today, Brooklyn," Goliath complimented. "You showed why you are worthy to be the Second of our clan."
"At least there's something I get right," Brooklyn laughed. "Now finding a girl that'll stick around, that's the real challenge."
Kairi smiled as Sora and Riku complimented her for winning the tournament. "It's too bad we never got to fight each other," Kairi said. "But next time we train, I'll show you my power up close!"
"You're on," Riku said.
"That's our Queen for you!" Janja laughed, the other hyenas yipping in agreement. "Three cheers for Jasiri!"
"Please guys, you're embarrassing me in front of Gabriel," Jasiri blushed.
"Let them have their fun," Gabriel said, holding the hyena queen close as they toasted to their win.
Silver looked content to sit on the sidelines but was surprised when Adam pulled him to his feet. "So, who are you taking with you on the date?" Adam asked. "I already got our destination set."
"Already?" Silver said, blushing. "I don't have time to think about that?"
"What about that one guy you met in the Animal Kingdom?" Soren suggested.
Silver blushed even harder. "Oh him, uh, well, you see I kinda, might have, sorta… fainted before I could ask him out."
"Well then, I can help you with the confidence!" Adam said with vigilance. "And once we get you a date, it's off to the Wasteland to find the Dreamfinder!"
"Wait, we're going on your adventure for our date!?" Silver said in a panic. "Soren, help me!"
"Have fun, you guys!" the jaquin laughed.
Kage and Phantasm lingered in the shadows. The two shared a nod, then left the party. They didn't need to stick around long. In the corner, Genesis, Aline, and Ditto all pouted, all being put in the "Party Pooper" corner by Berry, are sister Ana, and Deadpool.
"That should keep us all safe from your antics," Deadpool said.
"Why am I here? I didn't do anything as bad as you two!" Genesis shouted, picking up a chair and tossing it, only for Deadpool to blow up said chair with a rocket launcher.
"That's why," Ana said, giggling a bit.
N, Neville, and Logan were all taking fighting, with Logan leading the conversation. Suddenly, Their teammates all dogpiled them, leading to laughing as Logan crawled out to the top. "I gotta stop getting into these," he said, pulling out his phone. "Say 'Cheese' everyone!"
Aria was humming to herself, then saw Double D standing at a table, tapping his foot to the music. "Hey, Double D!" Aria said. She smiled at him. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm always willing to be your dance partner… Or maybe more, if you want."
"I appreciate the offer, but I gotta turn it down," the crow said. "Double D is a free bird that flies solo, if you catch my drift."
"Oh, I get it," Aria nodded. "We can still form a song and dance team together though, right?"
"Sure!" Double D said, pointing to the sky. "We'll take the stage and dazzle the crowds."
Rachel walked over to Gabriel, then gave him a nod. "Congratulations on your win, Dream Keeper. Though I am going to need a new sword since you broke my last one."
"Right, sorry about that," Gabriel rubbed the back of his head. "Hey, if I get you a new one, do you think we could train together so I can master my Dragon Soul power?"
"Sure," Rachel replied.
Suddenly, Mickey tapped the microphone, turning everyone's attention to the stage. "Thanks for coming to the after party, everyone! I know it got a little crazy at the end, but let's give one last round of applause for Team Dream Keeper!" Everyone clapped. "Now then, Gabriel, do you have any last words?"
The raven smiled and got up on stage. "Just one last thanks to everyone for the backup at the end of the fight. But for now, let's all live it up and party on until the morning!"

{Ending Song: "Sugar Song to Bitter Step" by Unison Square Garden}
{English Version performed by Studio Yuraki}
Funky music started as everyone was shown getting dressed all fancy, with the guys in suits and the girls in party dresses. Soon the scene changed to a stage with the curtains drawn closed before opening as the singing began.
I've gotten used to this super-natural madness
That somehow I believe is the way my life should be
Gabriel bounces to the beat of the song, with Brooklyn by his side doing the same, the two looking cool as usual.
Shaken up, in a whirl, on this rambling roller coaster
Gabriel dances more enthusiastically as Lena and Kairi dance with him, the two girls spinning around the boy.
But what is it that I can't take my eyes off?
Gabriel does a twirl before dropping to one knee, holding Jasiri's paw as she gives him a lick on the cheek.
Swallowed up by the fundamentals of "equality"
I feel as though my heart's starting to ramble on and on
Logan does a funny dance while Adam peaks out from behind the curtain, confused as to when his cue is. Then Rachel and Berry do their own dance moves on stage.
All the hate, all the love, all for you- so try to speak up
Cause otherwise you're no more than a doll
Double D and Aria share a quick waltz, followed by Neville and Kage (both looking unwilling to do so). Ditto and Genesis do a quick duet with Aline watching, before Phantasm phases onto the stage and gives a bow.
At night, the city streets-
Crowds of people on their feet
Some are happy with the world they know
While others struggle all alone
We see various scenes and moments from some of the battles.
The difference in their lives,
Like music notes they dance across the stave
Like melody and rhythm singing:
Gabriel sits by himself and contemplates on his victory before everyone else suddenly jumps out and pulls him into a dance.
Marmalade jelly & sugar song
Peanut coat & a bitter step
Everyone lines up and does a line kick dance.
It's quite a treat, so bittersweet, my head begins to spin around
Various duos (Adam and Melanie, Soren and Skylar, Neville and Eclipsa, etc.) do their own quick pose as the spotlights flash around the stage.
Keep on partying on and on
Take it down from South to West
We see the girls all do their own dance, while the guys all nod along to the music in the background.
The world will sing aloud
Because tonight is going down in history!
Gabriel and Jasiri share a ballroom dance, with Gabriel ending it in a dip.
I feel oh so good- take my hand, reflect the light up!
All the teams do a pose as the music goes on.
I'm so unsettled by statistics and reality
Soren tries to take a nap, only for N to jump out from behind the curtain and startle him.
Will the music that I make
be just a tool for them to take?
Aline and Double D do another duet together, with both their teams pairing up and dancing behind them as well.
Turn around, if you please- just don't turn your back to face me
Kage suddenly rushes onto the stage, clashing her weapon against Genesis' rage aura.
Although I guess that's not enough to plead my case
Ditto sits being held in magic by Yen Sid, the sorcerer shaking his head as the monster looked sheepish.
After we celebrate
When the music fades away
Some are smiling still from ear-to-ear
while others break down into tears
While everyone celebrates, Lena and Poe share an embrace, shedding tears of happiness as they did so.
They're both one and the same
But I can't help thinking it doesn't make much sense
Brooklyn and Kairi look off into the distance as they reflect on the battles they fought in.
to put it into words how all their-
Gabriel and Jasiri run past them, the two dancing as the second chorus started up.
favorite thing is a sugar song
Their happiness is a bitter step
Another line dance, this time with different cast members.
So shout it out aloud cause we won't let our lives end over there
Mickey, Donald, and Goofy all jam out to the music together.
Even if you regret it all, each and every day will end
The team leaders all dance together in a coordinated spin move.
So listen to the forecast in your head predict the weather till it's done!
Gabriel jumps up and lands in a knee slide, manifesting a guitar to play through the bridge. Soon everyone got an instrument, jamming out to the song as it picked up. Once it was over, the world faded as Gabriel held his necklace to his heart.
Someday, even if the madness stops its breathing
Someday, if the reasoning has lost all its meaning
Jasiri, Lena, Brooklyn, and Kairi stood next to Gabriel, all of them with a hand over their heart.
Feeling song and step
And listen to the way our voices echo on
Gabriel opened his eyes and held a hand to the sky, his aura flaring as his Dragon Soul came out.
Cause that's the proof that shows that we exist here in this moment shout it out-
1, 2, 3!
The dragon swirled around, bringing color back to the world and revealing everyone else waiting for them outside of the stage on Main Street.
Marmalade jelly & sugar song
Peanut coat & a bitter step
So shout it out aloud, why we must live our lives all over there?
Everyone got a moment to pose with their teams, looking cool doing so.
Let's be proud of how far we've come
North-Northeast back where we began
The world will sing aloud, so keep it up- nothing can stop us now!
Gabriel led his friends in a complicated dance move, ending in them doing a triple spin and landing on a "superhero pose" that then quickly sprung up in a fist pump.
Marmalade jelly & sugar song
Peanut coat & a bitter step
It's quite a treat, so bittersweet, my head begin to spin around
One last line kick dance, ending in everyone doing their own unique dance move.
Keep on partying on and on
Take it down from South to West
Gabriel and Jasiri, along with the other couples, did a duet dance across the street.
The world will sing aloud
Because tonight is going down in history!
Jasiri spun Gabriel around, swinging him off to his do his own dance.
I feel oh so good, take my hand, reflect the light up!
Goes on, and on, it repeats, so let go of work and have fun!
Gabriel floated up with his magic, his dragon spirit coming out for him to ride on as the camera froze on everyone jumping into the air for joy.
Woah- oh,
one more time, give your all!
When time started, Gabriel flew down and picked up everyone onto the dragon, flying up around Disney Castle.
No, no-no-no, no, no-no-no
We got happiness, phrase and the melodies!
Landing on the balcony, Team Dream Keeper all did a pose as the song ended: Brooklyn crossed his arms and nodded, Kairi gave a peace sign, Lena gave a thumb up, and Jasiri and Gabriel held each other close as they bowed together.

With the party over, everyone went home, with the House of Mouse being left to clean by the Cast Bots. "Gee Mickey, these Cast Bots are really useful," Goofy noted.
"Yeah, they're really swell!" Daisy added, filing her nails at the receptionist desk.
"I dunno," Donald said, eying one of the robots. "Isn't having an army of robots usually a bad thing?"
"Don't worry, Donald, Hiro assured us that these robots aren't so easy to hack," Minnie said.
"That's right, Minnie!" Mickey exclaimed. "He accounted for any person of malicious intent that would want to use them: Ultron, CLU, Obake, you name it!"
"Although, to Donald's point, these robots to seem familiar," Gabriel said. He scratched his head, stared intently at one of the Cast Bots, then shrugged. "Oh well, if it doesn't come to mind immediately, it must not be important. I'm sure I'll remember in the morning. Night everyone!" As the Dream Keeper left, he bumped into one of the robots, accidentally knocking it over. "Oops, sorry there, little guy!"
"Not a problem sir," the robot responded. As Gabriel left, the robot's energy flashed red as it chuckled. "Not a problem at all…"
Author's Note
A final thank you for reading this story! The last song is another anime song, this time from "Blood Blockade Battlefront," although the song was a popular meme on Youtube for people to edit in other characters to. If you've seen anime characters dancing on a stage, that's the one. It's a really fun and catchy song, and it fits the upbeat nature of everyone having a party.
Oh, and that teaser at the end, well, that's me announcing that there will in fact be one more "Magical World" story coming in the near future! It's still in planning, but I can at least give you the title:
"Saving the Disney Universe"
Expect to see this third installment sometime in early July. Until then, this is The Dragon Saver, wishing you all a good day and to stay safe!
